What was the story behind the Undertaker "dying" in 1994?
At the end of 1993 The Undertaker began to feud with Yokozuna. At Royal
Rumble 1994 they fought in a casket match for the world title. The
Undertaker was about to win the match when 10 heel wrestlers interfered and
helped Yokozuna put Undertaker in the casket to win.

After the match Undertaker appeared on the big video screen and gave a short
speech on how he would not rest in peace and would return for revenge. After
the speech the lights went out and Marty Jannetty dressed as The Undertaker
was raised up to the roof of the arena in the crucifix position giving the
angle that Undertaker ascended to heaven.

In real life Mark Calloway just needed time off to handle some family
matters. He didn't actually die!

Who was the Fake Undertaker?
About 5 months after the Undertaker "died" at Royal Rumble Ted Dibiase began

other to see how actually had the real one.

Lee dressed as the Undertaker. Undertaker beat Brian Lee at Summerslam with

Why did he wear a mask in 1995?
In 1995 Mabel was being pushed as the monster hell in the WWF. To get Mabel

couple bones in his face. So Undertaker started wearing a purplish grey mask

his match.

On an edition of Raw is War in late 1998 The Undertaker "crucified" Steve

were offended by the incident but it soon died down.

from. The group made the plan to kidnap Stephanie McMahon and get Vince
McMahon to hand over the WWF for her return.
